RE: Backing up PC Outlook *.pst files with Retro 4.3 on the Mac

2001-01-18 Thread Steve Maser 


If you run backups from a Windows box, you can tell the Retrospect Client to
exit Outlook 2000, start the backup, and then restart Outlook 2000.



So, is this a functionality that *will* be coming to the Mac version or not?

I (like others) am starting to get concerned that the only way to 
sucessfully back up Windows clients is by running the Windows version 
of Retrospect (and I include the Win2000 registry backup issue in my 
concern here...)

RE: Backing up PC Outlook *.pst files with Retro 4.3 on the Mac

2001-01-17 Thread Craig Isaacs 


 Hi all,

 Apart from repeatedly badgering users to make sure Outlook is quit
 before having the backup run, is there any fix in the works for the
 Mac version of Retrospect to back up the "open" Outlook *.pst files
 when backing up PCs? ...

 Or is this something the PC version of Retrospect backs up
 correctly (like the Win2000 registry issue somebody pointed out a
 while back?)

If you run backups from a Windows box, you can tell the Retrospect Client to
exit Outlook 2000, start the backup, and then restart Outlook 2000.

One thing you can do for any client (and for any file, not just Outlook) is
to use autoexec.bat to make a copy of the file on start-up. It will slow the
start-up speed, but it will also ensure a good .pst file is available for
backup.

Checking the user option to leave mail on the server until filed/deleted
plus this type of backup will ensure no in-bound email is lost.

Craig
